In an appearance on Channels Television on Sunday, Clarke said that the Supreme Court had previously rendered decisions on every issue that Atiku and Obi had brought before the tribunal.
“In my personal view, and I believe my personal view is enriched with my past experience in the dispensation of justice at the bar.
“I have every belief and I seriously believe that the unanimous judgement of the Court of Appeal is unassailable, it is as fixed as you can fix anything and I can assure that if there is an appeal, I doubt if anything can come out of the appeal. Let us be clear to ourselves.
“All the matters, based on law that were brought before the tribunal, had already been adjudged by the apex court in this country.”
